Application ledl, July 9, 1928.' Serial No. 650,331.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMES W. THOMPSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of lVhite Plains, county of Westchester, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Incinerators, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to receptacles for holding paper or other refuse or waste material while the lrefuse is being burned.

The salient object of the invention is to provide a receptacle of the character described that is simple but rugged in construction and can be economically manufactured.

Further objects of the invention will appear from the following specification taken 1n connection with the drawings, which form a part of this application, and in which Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional elevation illustrating a receptacle construction in accordance with the invention, and

Fig. 2 is a perspective view broadly7 broken away and showing the details of the construction illustrated in Fig.' 1.

In the particular form of the invention shown, the receptacle comprises an elongated tubular woven wire member 10 having a plurality of reinforcing hoops 11, 12 and 13 secured thereto.

The hoops 11' and 12 are secured withinv the tubular member l() by separate wire loops 14. The hoo 11 is secured adjacent the upper end of t e tubular member and the hoop 12 is positioned intermediate the ends of the member 10. The hoop 13 has secured thereto a plurality of crossstrands of wire 15 which form the bottom'of the receptacle and support the refusein position to be burned. This hoop 13 is secured to the receptacle 10 by separate wire loops 16. The lower ends 17 of the wires forming the tubular member are bent upwardly to form rests for supporting the tubular member. l

A cover 20 is hinged at 21 to the upper end of the tubular member and a hook 22 is carried by the cover and is adapted to engage the hoop 11. The cover 20A comprisesl i a hoop 23 and interlaced wires 24 secured to the hoop.

From the foregoing description, it will be seen that a simple, rugged and practical construction of refuse container or receptacle has been designed and it will be obvious that this receptacle can be economicallyT manufactured.`

Although one specific embodiment of the invention has been particularly shown and described, it will be understood that the invention is ca able of modification and that changes in tige construction and in the arrangement of the various cooperating parts may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention,l as expressed in the following claims.

What I 'claim is:

l. A receptacle for burning refuse, comprising a tubular woven wire body, reinforcing hoops secured to the woven wire body intermediate of its ends and adjacent the up er and lower ends thereof, the lower en s of the wires of the tubular body belowv the hoop being interlocked to form a plurality of supports for the receptacle, woven wire secured to the hoop adjacent the lower end of the receptacle and forming a bottom for said receptacle, and a woven wire cover for the receptacle.

2. A receptacle for burning refuse, comprising a tubular woven wire body, reinforcing hoops secured to the inner face of said body intermediate of its ends and adjacent its upper and lower ends, the lower ends of the wires below .the hoop being interlocked to form a plurality of supports for the receptacle, Woven wire secured to the hoop adjacent the lower end forming a bottom for the receptacle, and a cover for the receptacle formed of a hoop and Woven Wire secured. thereto, sundry of the upper ends of wires of the body being looped around the -hoop of the cover to hinge the cover thereto.

' In witness whereof, I have hereunto sot my hand this 2day of July, 1923.

JAMES W. THOMPSON.
